At the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, American women excelled, winning 67 out of 126 total medals for Team USA, constituting over half of the nation's medal haul. Women were responsible for 26 of the 40 gold medals won by the U.S., marking a historic performance that set a record for the highest gold medal count for a single country's female team in Olympic history. Key victories included the women's soccer team securing gold and the basketball team winning its eighth consecutive title. The dominance of women in these games was underscored by individual accomplishments, with swimmer Katie Ledecky and gymnast Simone Biles achieving remarkable milestones. In a light-hearted note, a golden retriever named Beacon served as an unofficial mascot for the gymnastics team, symbolizing the team's unity and spirit. Ultimately, the U.S. tied with China for gold medals, showcasing a strong overall performance led by female athletes.
